SoftIron is a British enterprise IT innovations company, whose core team have held senior positions in global enterprise IT product companies, and have exceptional credentials as innovators. The University of Portsmouth (UoP) is leader in the development of real-world Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems for commercial and industrial use. SoftIron is a global leader in the development, productisation and commercialisation of enterprise-class low energy high performance storage servers. These servers have world-beating performance and density whilst consuming significantly lower energy. They can significantly lower ICT electricity demand (PB/W) therefore CO2 emissions. To sustain its global market lead and accelerate its innovation path, SoftIron has teamed up with the University of Portsmouth to produce an AI-based software agent that will work with the SoftIron low energy storage servers to further reduce the storage server energy requirements by dynamically controlling the power requirements of the server. Innovate UK funding enables SoftIron and UoP to accelerate the development of the AI-based software agent and take it to market quickly. This enables SoftIron to consolidate its global lead rather than fall behind; which would otherwise happen if Innovate UK funding were not available to undertake the project.

SoftIron是一家英国企业IT创新公司，其核心团队在全球企业IT产品公司担任高级职位，并拥有卓越的创新者资格。朴茨茅斯大学（UoP）是商业和工业用真实世界人工智能（AI）系统开发的领导者。SoftIron是企业级低能耗高性能存储服务器开发、生产和商业化的全球领导者。这些服务器具有世界一流的性能和密度，同时能耗显著降低。它们可以显著降低ICT电力需求（PB/W），从而降低CO2排放。为了保持其全球市场领先地位并加速其创新之路，SoftIron与朴茨茅斯大学合作开发了一种基于AI的软件代理，该代理将与SoftIron低能耗存储服务器合作，通过动态控制服务器的功率需求，进一步降低存储服务器的能源需求。Innovate UK的资助使SoftIron和UoP能够加速基于AI的软件代理的开发，并将其快速推向市场。这使SoftIron能够巩固其全球领先地位，而不是落后;如果英国创新基金无法承担该项目，就会发生这种情况。
